tram access essential facilities tidy room
The location provided convenient access to a tram stop directly outside. This made accessing various points of interest straightforward. The room I occupied was tidy. It contained all essential facilities.
The walls seemed rather thin. Sounds from the hallway were clearly audible.

Convenient and Secure Stay
tram station helpful team
The location proved convenient with the tram stop situated just across from the building. I appreciated the presence of a nearby supermarket. It made acquiring essentials very easy. The security measures in place. The team members were helpful and friendly.
The room lacked a refrigerator which limited my ability to store drinks and snacks. The absence of a television was also a small disappointment. It would be nice with a small fridge in the room.
Facilities
8/10
The gym provides essential equipment for basic workouts. It includes a treadmill and some weights. The presence of a pool table adds some recreational opportunities. The cinema room is a nice extra for enjoying movies on-site.

Functional Stay Near Leith Walk
functional facilities clean room helpful staff
The location near Leith Walk suited me well. I found the room and facilities clean. Staff were friendly and helpful when I spoke with them (Paul at the reception was amazing!).
The shower felt a bit small. The door only opened halfway, so getting in and out felt tight. I also experienced no hot water one day.

The staff provided support and demonstrated kindness. They were responsive and available to assist. Their positive attitude really made a difference.
